Just Eat said the app will enable customers to hook up to their Apple TV and that separate apps for other smart TVs will be launched within the next few months.

The company said the launch is part of an existing pledge to invest £40m in marketing and technology in the UK this year.

Fernando Fanton, chief product and technology officer at Just Eat, said: "The plans we’ve outlined today are all about ensuring JUST EAT delivers a frictionless experience to customers, wherever they are.

"Working with brands like Apple, Amazon and others, we want our technology to become a permanent feature in our customers' living rooms, as well as in our restaurant partners' offices and kitchens.

Chief executive David Buttress said: "These initiatives in technology and marketing will help ensure that we continue to extend our leadership in each of the markets where we operate, ensuring rapid growth and sustainable profitability for a long time to come."
